Sea turtles are amazing!

So today I fiiiiiiiiinally got my Florida license plate. I really didn’t need to wait so long since they didn’t make me show any proof of residence or fill out any paperwork or really do much at all. So much easier than Wisconsin. I picked the Protect our Reefs plate;Add Image it was a tossup between that one and the sea turtle one. I also purchased my fishing license while I was there so now I can go fishing.
Speaking of sea turtles, Devin met me after work at the Motel (and he brought be chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream) to watch for sea turtles. On our way back down the beach we saw a sea turtle, I think a loggerhead, digging her whole. We stayed the entire time and watched her lay her eggs and make her way back to the ocean. She was so calm and purposeful the entire time; it looked very tiring. It was amazing. AMAZING. Probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The pictures are pretty terrible since I didn’t use a flash (light can confuse them) until she was back in the water and far away. If you ever have a chance to watch a sea turtle do it.
